Bird Survey, Pinellas NWR: 12-31-17




Reddish Egret on Tarpon Key





Osprey on the hunt





Female with the brown “necklace"








Probable male with a clean white breast without a “necklace"





Unlike Bald Eagles, Ospreys can become completely submerged during a dive into water and are still able to fly away with their prey.





Their oily and dense plumage provides water proofing.
